HILLSDALE — Dust off your hats for an afternoon of fun and tea Sunday at the Hillsdale County Fairgrounds. The Mad Hatter Tea Party is being sponsored by the Hillsdale County Health Center’s Relay for Life team. Team members organized the party as a fundraiser opportunity for the annual walk. Kim Spratt, team captain, said she got the idea after attending a local Relay for Life team summit. She said the "Alice in Wonderland" theme of the event helped to inspire them. “We spun it off of that,” she said. “We want everyone to wear their crazy hats and come out and have fun.” The fundraiser will begin at 2 p.m. at the 4-H dining hall at the fairgrounds. The cost of the event is $5 with all of the money going to Relay for Life. It will feature snacks , beverages, games and crafts for people to enjoy.

Spratt said there will be games and crafts for children and adults; the event is open to everyone.

This year’s Relay for Life is June 7-8 at the fairgrounds. Spratt said she has had several people inquire about the fundraiser. The hospital annually has a team that participates in Relay for Life. Spratt said they always have a good turnout. Relay for Life Hillsdale County will have a kickoff event at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 4 at the 4-H building at the fairgrounds.
